All you need to know about Saturday’s PFL vs. Bellator card!

PFL vs. Bellator: Champs will take place on February 24, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The fight card features two matchups of current PFL champs against the titleholders from newly acquired Bellator, as well as bouts between several former champs from both promotions.

In the PFL vs. Bellator heavyweight main event, PFL champion Renan Ferreira (12-3) takes on Bellator champion Ryan Bader (31-7). The winner of the two will most likely face former UFC champion Francis Ngannou next.

In the co-main feature we will see PFL light heavyweight champ Impa Kasanganay (15-3) drop down to middleweight to face the unbeaten Bellator champion Johnny Eblen (14-0).
